"Die hier versammelten Briefe Gerhard Gershom Scholems sind zum allergrößten Teil Zeugnisse aus jungen Jahren; gerichtet an Werner Kraft, den heute in Jerusalem lebenden Dichter und homme de lettres. In jenen Jahren, die in diesen Briefen aufleuchten, nämlich den Jahren 1917 bis 1931, gab es für Scholem hauptsächlich eines zu tun: leidenschaftlich, unentwegt zu lernen, und zwar, so Werner Kraft, fast ausschließlich »bezogen auf das Studium der heiligen Schriften«. Wie Scholem derjenige wurde, dem man sein Botschaft glaubte, weil er sie vertrat – dies verdeutlichen diese Briefe an den Jugendfreund, der, mit weit größeren Schwierigkeiten, als Scholem sie hatte, ebenfalls zu »seinem« Judentum finden mußte."

In this book, Brenda M. King challenges the notion that Britain always exploited its empire. Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship were all part of the Anglo-Indian silk trade and were nurtured in the era of empire through mutually beneficial collaboration. The trade operated within and without the empire, according to its own dictates and prospered in the face of increasing competition from China and Japan. King presents a new picture of the trade, where the strong links between Indian designs, the English silk industry and prominent members of the English the arts and crafts movement led to the production of beautiful and luxurious textiles. Lavishly illustrated, this book will be of interest to those interested in the relationship between the British Empire and the Indian subcontinent, as well as by historians of textiles and fashion.
